Chapter 1 Introduction 1-1
Desktop Manager Features: An Overview
This section reviews some of the features of the Desktop Manager. For detailed information and
instructions, refer to later chapters in this guide.
■ Print a Document
The MultiPASS can be configured as the Windows® default printer, allowing you to print a
document in any Windows application. You can also define and customize print options
that affect the output of your printed documents. For information on printing with the
MultiPASS, see your online User’s Manual.
■ Fax a Document
You can fax a black and white document from your computer, from within a Windows
application, or from the Desktop Manager. You can attach a fax cover page and even
schedule the transmission time that the fax should be sent. Predefined fax cover pages are
available for you to use, or you can design your own.
For associates to whom you repeatedly send faxes or e-mail, you can set up an Address
Book, containing predefined fax and e-mail information for each recipient (such as the fax
number or e-mail address). When you send a fax or an e-mail message from your
computer, the recipient information is then readily available in the Address Book.
You can also receive color and black and white faxes from your business and personal
contacts directly into your PC.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-2
■ Scan an Image
The TWAIN-compliant scan driver enables you to use the MultiPASS to scan black and white,
and color documents, photographs, and other images directly into the Desktop Manager or into
another Windows application.
■ Import or Export a Document
You can import, export, store, and manage documents and images in a variety of formats
directly in the Desktop Manager, such as .BMP and .TIF.
■ Manipulate or Annotate a Document
You can manipulate or annotate any document placed in the Desktop Manager — which occurs
by sending or receiving a fax, scanning an image, or importing a file. You manipulate a
document by scrolling through and viewing its contents; removing a page; splitting or merging
it with another document; editing it by cropping, rotating or flipping; adjusting the document
brightness, contrast, size, or image type; or by printing the document. You annotate a document
by adding a text annotation, graphic or text stamp, sticky note, highlighting, or by creating a
simple drawn graphic.
■ Set MultiPASS Options
Options that affect certain operations of your MultiPASS can be set manually on the MultiPASS
itself or in the Desktop Manager. These options include parameters that affect sending and
receiving faxes, and the assignment of speed dial numbers. Option settings defined in the
Desktop Manager override any corresponding option setting you previously set up on the
MultiPASS itself.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-3
The MultiPASS Settings
To customize the MultiPASS to your particular needs, you can adjust the general operation,
sending, receiving, printing, system settings, and speed dialing settings. There are two methods
of adjusting these settings:
Method 1: Using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
You can adjust settings using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager software included with your
MultiPASS. For detailed instructions refer to Chapter 6, Utilities, in this guide.
Method 2: Using the MultiPASS operation panel
You can also adjust settings directly via the operation panel of the MultiPASS. Detailed
instructions are described in the Stand-alone Fax Manual. Adjusting settings through the
operation panel is convenient when you do not have your MultiPASS connected to a PC.
Before adjusting any settings, decide whether you prefer to make changes from the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager or from the operation panel. Using both — the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
and the operation panel — may cause confusion. Changes made in the MultiPASS Desktop
Manager will override any corresponding settings made through the operation panel, and
changes made to settings through the operation panel will not be displayed in the MultiPASS
Desktop Manager.
If your MultiPASS is connected to a PC, we recommend using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager
n
to adjust any settings. If you are not using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, you can ignore the
information in this manual.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-4
Desktop Manager Software Package
The Desktop Manager software package includes drivers and a set of utility programs which are
automatically installed on your system when you install the software package. The drivers allow
the MultiPASS to communicate with the software on your computer.
The following drivers and application programs are installed:
■ MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows
The MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows coordinates sending faxes directly from
your computer (PC faxes), receiving faxes into your computer, and scanning images. The
Desktop Manager enables you to store and manage the resulting documents.
■ MultiPASS Printer Driver
The MultiPASS printer driver enables you to use the MultiPASS as the default printer in
any Windows application that supports printing.
■ MultiPASS Fax Driver
The MultiPASS fax driver enables you to send a PC fax from any Windows application that
allows faxing.
■ Scan Driver (ScanGear™ for MultiPASS)
The scan driver enables you to scan an image into the Desktop Manager or most Windows
applications that support TWAIN-compliant scanning.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-5
■ MultiPASS Service (Windows NT only)
The MultiPASS Service (MPService) enables and controls all the communication between
your computer and the MultiPASS. MPService must be running for jobs to be processed
with the Desktop Manager and the MultiPASS (such as receiving faxes in the Desktop
Manager, scheduling faxes, scanning, and printing).
MPService starts automatically when you start your computer, even if you have not yet
logged into Windows. If you log off Windows and leave the computer on, MPService
continues to run, to receive and send any faxes to and from the Desktop Manager.
■ MultiPASS Status Monitor
The MultiPASS Status Monitor controls and tracks the activity occurring through the bidirectional parallel port to which the MultiPASS is connected. The Status Monitor must be
running to enable the MultiPASS system to function successfully. The Status Monitor
displays status messages about the current activity with your MultiPASS system. With the
installation of the software, the Status Monitor is set up to automatically start when you
start Windows.
■ Send Fax Manager
The Send Fax Manager displays an ordered queue of fax jobs and their status.
■ MultiPASS Toolbar
The MultiPASS Toolbar enables you to scan an image from the Windows desktop without
opening an imaging application (such as Photoshop®) or the Desktop Manager. The
scanned image is delivered directly to a destination, such as a fax or to the desired
application (such as your e-mail application or a graphic application).
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-6
Using Your Documentation
Your MultiPASS includes the following documentation to help you learn how to use your unit
quickly and easily:
■ Quick Start Guide
This foldout sheet describes how to unpack and set up your new MultiPASS unit. It
includes instructions on how to install the software that comes with the MultiPASS,
including the MultiPASS Desktop Manager for Windows, ScanGear for MultiPASS, and
the MultiPASS Printer Driver. This software enables you to use all the features of the
MultiPASS — color printing, color copying, color faxing, PC faxing, and color scanning.
■ MultiPASS C530/C560 User’s Manual
This online manual offers detailed information on how to operate your new MultiPASS. It
describes how to use the MultiPASS as a monochrome or color printer and covers the
basics on how to send and receive faxes. It also includes maintenance, troubleshooting, and
specifications.
■ MultiPASS Desktop Manager Software Guide
This online manual describes how you use the MultiPASS Desktop Manager, which is a
software application that provides all the PC faxing and scanning capabilities of your
MultiPASS. If you plan to use the PC faxing and scanning features of the MultiPASS, you
must install the MultiPASS Desktop Manager software. You can then use the Desktop
Manager to define and control all of the features of the MultiPASS.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-7
■ Stand-alone Fax Manual
This online manual describes how you use the operation panel on the MultiPASS to control
all your faxing and receiving functions. If you decide not to install the MultiPASS Desktop
Manager, you can still use many of the features of the MultiPASS. In this case, you will
define and control the features of the MultiPASS through the operation panel.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-9
Using the MultiPASS Toolbar
The MultiPASS Toolbar displays as an icon on the Windows desktop. When you click the icon
(or press Start/Scan on the MultiPASS), the MultiPASS Toolbar (hereafter referred to as the
Toolbar) displays on the Windows desktop and enables you to scan a document or image,
without opening a graphics application or the Desktop Manager.
When you scan a document, the system uses defined settings that determine the characteristics
of your scanned image (such as the image type and resolution). The settings are predefined,
enabling you to begin scanning with the Toolbar immediately. However, you can change these
settings as needed.
The following illustration includes each of the buttons that may display on the Toolbar. The
button icons may vary somewhat based on your Toolbar settings. You can also adjust the
Toolbar settings to display only those buttons that are convenient for you.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1-13
Changing the Options for the Scan Buttons on the Toolbar
In the Toolbar settings, you can define certain features associated with the scan buttons on the
Toolbar. These features include scan settings that the Toolbar uses automatically to produce the
scanned image. These settings are defined independently for each scan destination available, such
as scan to fax or scan to mail. Although these settings are predefined so you can begin scanning
with the Toolbar immediately after installing the MultiPASS software, you can change these
settings as needed.
To change the scan button options:
1. On the Windows Desktop, right-click on the MultiPASS Toolbar icon, and then click Toolbar
Settings.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-14
2. In the Toolbar Settings dialog box, select the appropriate tab for the scan button whose
settings you want to change: Fax, Mail, Scan Text, Scan Photo, and Custom.
3. On the appropriate tab, make your preferred changes.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
Click Cancel to close the Toolbar Settings dialog box without saving the changes.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-15
Defining the Scan Button Options
On the applicable tab in the Toolbar Settings dialog box, you can change the following options:
■ Show This Button on Toolbar
Select this option to display the button associated with this scan destination on the Toolbar.
If this option is cleared, the button does not appear on the Toolbar.
■ Link To
On the Fax tab, this option displays the MultiPASS fax driver that is used to send your
scanned document as a fax.
On the Scan Text, Scan Photo, and Custom tabs, this option displays the path and executable
file for the application associated with the scan destination. The Scan Text and Scan Photo
buttons may be factory-defined with an application bundled with your MultiPASS software.
For example, the Scan Text button may be linked to the TextBridge application. The Custom
tab enables you to associate your preferred application with the Custom button.
■ Set
On the Fax tab, click to change the fax options used when faxing the scanned document with
the Fax button. In the Fax Properties dialog box, specify your changes (such as paper size)
and click OK.
On the Scan Text, Scan Photo and Custom tabs, click to select the application you want
associated with this scan destination. For details, see “Linking an Application for a Toolbar
Scan Button” later in this section.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-16
■ Save as Type
If available on the tab, click the file format in which you want your scanned image saved,
such as BMP or TIF. This option is available only for those scan destinations where saving
the image file is appropriate.
■ Image Type
Select the type of image you are scanning, such as Black and White.
■ Image Quality (Resolution)
Select the resolution (in dots per inch, dpi) for the image you are scanning. A higher
resolution results in a better image quality, but may take longer to scan. A lower resolution
generally scans faster, but may generate a lesser quality image.
■ Paper Size
Select the physical size of the image being scanned, such as letter or business card size. You
can also define a custom paper size. For details, see “Defining a Custom Paper Size” later in
this section.
■ Weight and Size
Based on the paper size you selected, the corresponding width and height display. If you
selected the custom paper size, you can define the width and height. You can also select the
unit of measure by which you want to display or define the width and height.
Chapter 1 Introduction 1-17
Linking an Application for a Toolbar Scan Button
When linking an application to a button, you need to know the program or executable (.EXE)
file associated with the application and where this file is located on your system. For example, to
link Microsoft Paint to the Custom button, you would need to know the path and the
executable file name for Paint (PBRUSH.EXE).
To link an application:
1. On the Scan Text, Scan Photo, or Custom tab, click Set.
2. In the Select Application dialog box, select the path and file name for the application
executable file. Then click Open.
Your selection displays in the Link To box.

performance.
To change Toolbar settings:
